As a jungle mid, I always cringe a little when I see tele over Ignite. All I dream about is getting my mid laner fat. I want that ignite so I know we can get FB. Thoughts?summoner 14 summoner 14 summoner 32

I mean, Ignite works for mid laners who have the Early game power to get fat. But for more hyper scaling champions, TP can help them get back to lane when getting bullies, while offering split push pressure.

In the LCS, Cleanse is even a good option, Considering that it can reduce the effectiveness, of some CC heavy mages. And picking that summoner can help when QSS isn't really a good option for most AP champs.

Really it's a matter of knowing, what this summoner spell does for me, when and how I'm going to use it, and how useful it actually is to me.

Teleport is more useful lategame hands down, unless they have like a mundo/vlad or whatever,

I feel its situational, depending on who you play. If you take TP you can assist top and bot alot easier. Exhaust is also very good, mainly for late game as it scales way harder than ignite. Ignite is good simply for snowballing and gives way more early kill potential. Again I feel its situational. As an assassin yea you probably want to take ignite 9/10. But playing a squishy mage against an assassin I would either take exhaust or barrier.

Some people like azir,viegar,tf,gankplank and other farm heavy mid laners take tp so they can out farm the enemy people like zed talon and kill mid laners take ignite for first blood so only gank mid depending on the champ. Veigar is a good example he doesent hvae much dmg early so he has to stay back and farm. Some times you will see people like lb take tp for cross map ganks so she can carry 100% depends on the person I like tp over ignite because its more reliable hopefully you see my side feel free to ask questions <3

Depends... Some champs such as Lux, Xerath of Vel should take more defensive spells such as summoner 12 summoner 7 summoner 3 (for assasins), summoner 21

Depends on the gameplay, FB is just gold, TP is a gamechanger

What summoner spell to take and when

summoner 21 When you see yourself being on the front lines, trick people to focus you while they now have to squash through a giant barrier spell, also good for when you want to play defensively in lane, also helpful for skirmish heavy all ins

summoner 1 When against a team that has one or two champions that has a cc spell that you are highly afraid of, when you want to live and get out. I personally don't reccomond it against teams where they have 4 cc heavy champions for in my opinion you are just gonna clenase yourself just to get ccd immediatly after.

summoner 3 My all time favorite spell as I find it out scales ignite in terms of useful needs, can be used as both a defensive and offensive spell. If you are getting ganked, just exhaust the person ganking you so you can out run them. If you are going for the kill or into a skirmish, exhaust them so you can out trade and stop them from running. Great against teams that have heavy auto reliant characters.

summoner 6 When you want to chase or run. The mid lane combo the DADE combo is when you take both flash and ghost in the mid lane, so you always have either a escape tool or a engage tool in your pocket. Junglers also like it for ghost is a shorter cooldown than flash, so lets say you are hecarium and you use ghost to gank, and the enemy laner flashes, your ghost will be up before their flash. Giving you the gank advantage for later. Also great for mid laners who like to move around and reposition, great for people like shyvana or fiddle sticks who have aoe they want to spread.

summoner 7 Not much needs to be explained here. Personally unless it gets buffed I see zero reason for mid laners to take it vs other options. Marksman mains already know why they need it so I am not gonna explain this one.

summoner 14 Snow ball snow ball snow ball. COUGH fuck sustain healers. Not much to explain here. You set people on fire and make healing abilities less effective. What? Why are you still reading this. YOU LITERALLY SET SOMEONE ON FIRE THATS ALL THEIR IS TO IT.

summoner 11 Smite Mid, new meta lets go

summoner 12 Top laners allready know why they take it. But mid laners take it when they feel they are getting bullied a lot and just want to safe farm. Some champions have amazing level 1-3 skirmishing ability or poke ability. And if you aren't playing the right champion you might just end up finding yourself at 25 percent health at level 4. No their is a high chance of this. The game plan here is to just safe farm levels 1-6. insta back the moment you have enough money for a item that you feel can give you a battle stat advantage. Than insta tp back in lane so you are now healthy again and have a stat advantage. You can than push lane as they are now forced to back. do some damage on the tower. back again. buy another item. and boom you now have the advantage.

Depends. Though it's like ADCs asking which spell is better on their supports, so there's not really a problem here.

summoner 21 summoner 1 for defensive options and midlaners that aren't the best at dueling. summoner 14 lane pressure, lane pressure, lane pressure, and dueling. summoner 12 you like to have some roaming presence but you're not too mobile and/or don't need the ignite. summoner 3 often used for dueling but also a great utility spell late game.

Heal isn't necessarily the best on midlaners because it's more optimal to be used on TWO people.

eh... depends on which champion I am playing with and against on mid lane.
